The ball went through his arms... and then through his legs. He didn't have both knees down, just one, and the ball went right through.

How can you say the ball didn't go through his legs?

it went both through his arms and legs, in the end...but its because it went through his arms that it was a goal ( and a blunder) ...because, looking from the way he positioned himself, he was clearly expecting to hold the ball between his arms and his chest...thats why he didnt close his legs beforehand

You don't play professional football just assuming the ball will be somewhere.

That's schoolboy goalkeeping to go down on one knee like that and not ensure the gap between your legs is smaller than the ball. If he had done that, even if he missed it with his arms, it would've hit his knees and stayed out.

'Expecting' to do anything in football is a recipe for disaster.

It was a massive error, even Fernando Santos said it after the game in his interview. He admitted all keepers make mistakes but Quim's was a bad one letting the ball _go through his legs_.

they did, during part of the 2nd half, and it looked good....hopefully it will happen more and we cant forget we have simao still in a recovery proccess, same with miccoli....the dust is gonna settle, and this team will give us many joys this season i think
